Dog obedience is a very "broad" term.
Humans must keep a realistic expectation when approaching the training
of their dog. The behavior of today's dog, stems from it's instincts
of Gray Wolves. The domestication of dogs has been going on for hundreds
of
years, and the adaptability of canine to human need is amazing. Dogs
instinctively have the ability to adapt to smell, motion, and sound.
With this said,
humans must KNOW their breed to ensure we are setting the dogs environment
up for success, and not chaos. It is important to MATCH properly the
appropriate breed to your lifestyle and energy level, see: Dog Articles.

In a pack of dogs, there are no "sit" or "stay" commands.
The submissive dogs are IN TUNE with the pack leader and behave accordingly.
The key to successful dog obedience is to THINK like a dog. All of DOGGIE
STEPS Dog Training is in accordance with how dogs would act in a dog pack
OR in the wild. With this approach, our training success rate is much higher
than traditional "click and treat" training methods.
